Summer List

This summer there were so many things that the kids and I wanted to do. So I made a list.

School starts in three days and we haven't completed the list. That's okay. We've crammed in a few fun trips this week. We're having a BBQ on Saturday. Maybe we'll get Baskin Robbins ice cream or make face paint after school starts.

The point wasn't to finish the list but to have a fun summer doing things we enjoyed. That definitely was the summer we had.

One of the things we checked off this week was Folsom Lake. Going to Folsom Lake is one of Josh's favorite summer outings. I couldn't let this summer pass without going once.

The lake was low! We had to walk forever to get to the water. Walking back out was so much worse.

Josh and Carley each invited a friend to join us. Since the kids had friends to play with, I wasn't on call as much as usual.

The boys played in a mud puddle most of the time.

The girls could touch through the entire swimming area. I took them out past the bouys so they could actually enjoy swiming.

No matter what, they had a great time in the water.

And the boys had a great time in the dirt.

We all had fun in the sun at the low, low lake.

And it was one more thing to check off the list.
